Where were all these Constitutionalists when Habeas Corpus was being revoked?

It seems like nowadays you can’t swing a protest sign without hitting some Tea Party Super-Constitutionalist screaming about how their rights are being curtailed by health care reform or gay marriage or whatever they’re on about now. They always seem to use the Constitution as a shield even when their issues are not even remotely dealt with in the consititution.

A few years ago, under the direction of George W. Bush, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales formally suspended the right of Habeas Corpus despite the unambiguous constitutional prohibition on such an action.

So where were all these Tea-Partiers when our constitutional rights actually were under attack?
